Abstract: | Integration of vehicular ad hoc network and fixed IP network is important to provide Internet connection and mobile data service
for vehicles. However, the unique characteristics of vehicular networks, such as linear topology and constrained movements
of vehicles, are not considered in the conventional mobility management schemes. Using conventional schemes, unnecessary management
messages are generated and the connections to roadside-installed base stations are not fully utilized. As the results, bandwidth
is wasted and data delivery ratio is not maximized. In this paper, we propose a novel mobility management scheme to integrate
vehicular ad hoc network and fixed IP networks more efficiently. The proposed scheme manages mobility of vehicles based on
street layout as well as the distance between vehicles and base stations. Utilizing the unique characteristics of vehicular
networks, the proposed scheme has substantially less mobility management overhead and higher data delivery ratio. The proposed
scheme is simulated by SUMO (a vehicular traffic simulator) and QualNet (a data network simulator). The simulation results
show that the proposed scheme reduced the mobility management overhead up to 63% and improved the data delivery ratio up to
90%. |
